Benefits of technology

The present patent provides a method to make high specific surface area activated carbon through rapid activation under fluidization, which aims to improve the traditional method. The method can be used with various biomass materials, such as wood chips and straws, and can quickly activate the material at a high temperature. The material remains fluidized during activation, which leads to a more uniform activation process and reduces crushing and grinding. By using a chemical activation method in combination with a fluidized bed technology, the activation time is short, and the prepared activated carbon has a high specific surface area, which results in energy consumption reduction and lower production costs.

Problems solved by technology

The slow pyrolysis generally takes relatively long time, and even several days sometimes, to prepare the activated carbon.
Carbonization temperature is low, and activation temperature is high and is generally 800-1000° C. The physical activation method has the characteristics of simple operation, environmental friendliness and no pollution, but has the disadvantages of long operation time, high activation temperature and low activated carbon quality.
The chemical activation method includes soaking a chemical reagent and the material and activating the mixture at a high temperature, but the activation temperature is low, which is generally 350-600° C. The chemical activation method has the characteristics of complicated operation and severe pollution, but has short operation time, low activation temperature and high activated carbon quality.
In addition, the method is extremely short in activation time.

embodiment 1

[0032]The present embodiment comprises: mixing 85% of phosphoric acid with the materials of pine wood chips for immersing the materials, wherein the particle size of the materials is 0.56-0.9 mm and the mass ratios of the phosphoric acid to the materials are 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1; soaking at room temperature for 3 h; then drying the materials in a constant-temperature drying oven of 105° C. for 10 h; and then stirring the materials into granular materials. Activation is conducted in a spouted bed reactor and the activation temperature is 800° C. After the spouted bed reactor is heated to 800° C., fluidized gas (nitrogen) is introduced. When the immersing ratios (H3PO4 / pine wood chips) are 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1, the fluidized gas flow rates of the fluidized gas are respectively 0.7 m3 / h, 1.5 m3 / h and 1.9 m3 / h. 10 g of granular material is put into the spouted bed reactor, and 20 g of quartz sand is put into the spouted bed reactor. Activation is conducted for 1-10 min. After activation is ende...

[0035]The present embodiment comprises: mixing 85% of phosphoric acid with the materials of walnut shells for immersing the materials, wherein the particle size of the materials is 0.4-0.8 mm and the mass ratios of the phosphoric acid to the materials are 1.5:1 and 2:1; soaking at room temperature for 3 h; then drying the materials in a constant-temperature drying oven of 105° C. for 10 h; and then stirring the materials into granular materials. Activation is conducted in a spouted bed reactor and the activation temperature is 800′C. After the spouted bed reactor is heated to 800° C., fluidized gas (nitrogen) is introduced. When the immersing ratios (H3PO4 / walnut shells) are 1.5:1 and 2:1, the fluidized gas flow rate of the fluidized gas is 1.5 m3 / h. 20 g of quartz sand is put, and 10 g of materials is put into the spouted bed reactor. Activation is conducted for 5 min. After activation is ended, the materials are washed in warm water of 80° C. until the PH is neutral.

embodiment 3

[0037]The present embodiment comprises: mixing 85% of phosphoric acid with the materials of wheat straws for immersing the materials, wherein the particle size of the materials is 0.56-0.9 mm and the immersing mass ratios of the phosphoric acid to the wheat straws are 1:1 and 2:1; soaking at room temperature for 3 h; then drying the materials in a constant-temperature drying oven of 105° C. for 10 h; and then stirring the materials into granular materials. Activation is conducted in a spouted bed reactor and the activation temperature is 800° C. Firstly, the spouted bed reactor is heated to 800° C., and then fluidized gas (nitrogen or carbon dioxide) is introduced. When the immersing ratios (H3PO4 / wheat straws) are 1:1 and 2:1, the fluidized gas flow rates of the fluidized gas are respectively 0.7 m3 / h and 1.5 m3 / h. 30 g of quartz sand is put, and 10 g of materials is put into the spouted bed reactor. Activation is conducted for 5 min. After activation is ended, the materials are ra...
